Drunken Professor Lashes Out in Twitter Storm

In this chapter we find Professor Blackbriar's Blether account filling up with allegations against co-workers, superiors, and his postgraduate students. He later claims the account was hacked. Further emails leaked by the university hacker reveal more pressure to publish from the principal. Ethical issues introduced here include social media use; 'being hacked' to avoid the consequences of misconduct; pressure from above; the factionalism of social medial; algorithmic assessment of online opinion; fear as a motivation tool; publication ethics for co-authors; and the cherry-picking of publication data.
